At his hometown arena gig in Miami last weekend,
Sebastián Yatra is flanked by
Universal Music LatAm & Iberian Peninsula Chairman/CEO
Jesús López and
Universal Music Latino prez
Angel Kaminsky, who presented the Colombian hitmaker with a plaque for his latest full-length,
Dharma.
Dharma has moved major units across the globe, earning
RIAA certifications in the U.S. (quadruple platinum), Colombia (double diamond), Peru (double diamond), Ecuador (octuple platinum), Puerto Rico (quadruple platinum), Chile (37-times platinum) and Spain (gold).
Yatra is up for
Latin Grammys for Album of the Year, Pop Vocal Album and Song of the Year for "Tacones Rojos."
In 2021 he recorded "Dos Oruguitas" and its English-language version for the soundtrack to
Encanto. The song was nominated for an
Oscar for Best Original Song; Yatra performed it at the 2022
Academy Awards.
Thanks to that performance,
HITS nerds have learned how to say "caterpillar" in Spanish, expanding their foreign-language skills beyond "Bruno."
